Types of Safari Holidays We Organise
Road Safaris: Ideally suited for 7 to 10-day holidays. These itineraries use 4x4 Land Cruisers
exclusively—we do not use the tour vans common with budget operators. This ensures comfort on the rough roads
between Nairobi, Amboseli, and the Masai Mara.
Fly-In Safaris: For guests with limited time, we arrange light aircraft transfers from Wilson Airport
directly to airstrips within the conservancies. This avoids long drive times and maximizes hours spent on game drives.
Bush and Beach: A popular choice for UK travelers. These packages combine a high-intensity 4-day safari
in Tsavo or the Mara with relaxation at Diani Beach or Watamu on the coast.
Mount Kenya Hiking & Trekking Routes
Beyond wildlife viewing, we specialize in high-altitude trekking. Our Mount Kenya packages target Point Lenana (4,985m),
the accessible summit for fit hikers without technical climbing skills. We recommend the Sirimon Route
for ascent due to its gradual acclimatization profile and the Chogoria Route for descent due to its
scenic gorges and lakes. All hiking packages include porter support, mountain guides, and park camping fees.
Understanding Safari Costs and Inclusions
Our quotes are comprehensive to avoid surprises. The package price covers government park entrance fees (which change annually),
conservation levies, full-board accommodation, and professional guiding. Exclusions are typically limited to international flights,
tips, and alcoholic drinks. By booking a package, you lock in the exchange rate in Pounds Sterling, protecting your budget
from currency fluctuations before travel.
Flight Connections and Visa Requirements
Most UK holidays to Kenya utilize the overnight British Airways or Kenya Airways services. We schedule your pickup
based on these arrival times. Before traveling, all UK citizens must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA).
We provide the confirmed itinerary documents required to complete this online application.
Best Time to Travel from the UK
For the Migration: July through October is the peak season for the Masai Mara river crossings.
Booking 6-12 months in advance is necessary for these dates.
For Hiking: The dry periods of January-February and August-September offer the clearest views
and safest conditions for summiting Mount Kenya.
Winter Sun: December to March is popular for UK travelers escaping the British winter,
offering hot, dry weather in Tsavo and Samburu.
